| The goal of Boeing Air Traffic Management is
to enable safe, secure and
unconstrained growth of the global air transportation system.
The revolutionary solutions
being developed by Boeing will allow commercial airplane market
growth and
continued market leadership. |
| We established a team of air system users from
around the world that is helping to
develop specific performance requirements for the future air
transportation system.
This exciting partnership, known as the Working Together Team,
completed the first
phase of its work, which it will publish in early 2002, and
is about to begin its next
phase — the formation of a Working Together Team focused
on Europe. |
| Our suite of solutions includes significant security
enhancements. We are developing
a secure, satellite-based information network that will enhance
flight planning and
emergency response capabilities by instantly linking every element
of the air transportation
system, including airplanes, air traffic controllers, law enforcement,
the
military, aviation authorities and government leaders. This
network will enable instant
awareness if a plane deviates from its approved flight path
and provide instant communication
of emergency plans if needed. |
| Top engineers with Boeing and our Australian
subsidiary Preston Aviation Solutions
are developing computer models of traffic flow in the air, on
airport runways and
taxiways, and within terminals. These models will support security
training tools that
portray the real-life movement of people and vehicles throughout
the airport facility. |
| The Boeing approach is designed to increase the
efficiency and capacity of the air
transportation system, even as the system becomes more secure.
One important tool
we are developing is trajectory-based flight operations, which
will give air traffic controllers
the ability to project up to 40 minutes in advance when and
where flight delays
and traffic congestion will occur. Controllers will be able
to quickly and safely adjust
flight plans before delays occur, even if the planes are already
in flight. Our modeling
tools will also increase system efficiency by improving traffic
flow through the system. |

| Freedom means
being able to go
where you want,
when you want,
safely and securely.
We are committed
to developing and
deploying a revolutionary
global air
traffic system to
allow air travelers
to do just that. |
